# Sell a Wrecked Car in Detroit

> Totaled by the insurance company, or just sitting in your driveway after a wreck. We buy it.

Junk Car Scrappers Detroit buys cars with this exact problem every week. We dispatch our own flatbed across Metro Detroit, pay cash on the spot, and tow the car to our Detroit auto salvage yard. No tow fees, no last-minute deductions, no haggling at pickup.

**Call: (313) 889-7717** (Mon to Sat 8am to 8pm, Sun 10am to 6pm)

## The problem

**Wrecked, totaled, or accident-damaged.**

Totaled by insurance under Michigan's 75% rule, or sitting after a collision. Salvage title or clean, we buy it.

## What this is worth

### Grade D: Scrap / Shell
*"It's a total eyesore."*

End-of-life junk cars, missing parts, missing catalytic converter, or frame rusted through. Valued for scrap weight alone.

- Compact / Sedan: $200 to $500+
- SUV / Van / Truck: $350 to $700+

### Grade C: Non-Runner
*"It's all there, but it's dead."*

Junk cars that still have the engine, transmission, and catalytic converter. They just don't run. Most of what we buy across Metro Detroit.

- Compact / Sedan: $300 to $500+
- SUV / Van / Truck: $500 to $800+


Final offer depends on year, make, model, condition, current scrap rates, and whether the catalytic converter is still attached.

## How the process works

1. **Tell us what you have.** Year, make, model, the specific problem (wrecked, totaled, or accident-damaged), your Detroit-area ZIP. Takes 2 minutes by phone. We quote a firm cash price.
2. **We dispatch the flatbed.** Most pickups in Metro Detroit happen same-day. We tow free.
3. **Cash on the spot, before we load.** The number on the phone is the number at pickup. The only time it changes is if the car shows up materially different from what you described.

## Michigan title situations

- **Clean Michigan title in your name** → highest offer.
- **Lost title** → apply for a duplicate using Form TR-11L through the Michigan SOS, 3 to 5 business days.
- **No title at all** → sometimes workable with current registration + photo ID. Call before pickup.
- **Salvage / rebuilt title** → we buy these every week.
- **Insurance totaled the car under Michigan's 75% rule** → bring the salvage title from your insurer.
